Portland Story TheaterHello Out There!
Founders Lawrence Howard & Lynne Duddy, Founders Dear Friend of PST,
Hello! It's been a long and lonely stretch since we last saw you. We hope you are well and are surviving this crazy time. We have missed connecting with you and sharing stories.  
 
We're happy to announce that this Thursday, December 23, 2021, at 11am Pacific Time, you'll have a chance to hear a couple of short stories with Lynne Duddy and Lawrence Howard on KBOO.FM's radio show, Jonesy, hosted by the wonderful Ken Jones. You can listen live on the radio (Portland 90.7, Corvallis 104.3, Hood River 91.9), online at KBOO.FM, or you can stream this episode any time.
 
Lynne will be sharing the story "Do You Have A Dog?" Visiting her mother's grave on a dark and stormy night a few days before Christmas, Lynne has what seems almost a supernatural experience with someone who may have been an angel with a dog. This story was originally part of her one-woman show, Dark Matter, in 2009.
 
Lawrence will tell "The Secret Christmas Tree." Eight crazy nights of candles and latkes and dreidel are all well and good, but what about Santa? And Frosty, and Rudolph, and presents under the tree? Did it have to be one or the other? The Secret Christmas Tree is about how Lawrence's family celebrated the holidays in the suburbs of New York. Lawrence first told this story as part of his one-man show, The Adventures of Huckleberry Horowitz, in 2010.
Hitting The Bricks
During the pandemic, we have been on the lookout for ways to make some kind of an enduring mark. Lawrence Howard and Nova outside Starbucks in Pioneer SquareSo we decided to contribute to Portland's iconic Pioneer Square and help support the many memorable events that happen there. What could be more lasting? We are on the upper level by the coffee shop's outdoor tables. We were pretty excited to find our brick! 
The Promise of Spring
Portland Story Theater has always been an investment in opening minds, challenging assumptions, and finding our common humanity. Our goal has always been to step up, provide safe space for each other, and engage in ways that matter. So stay tuned! We're pleased that a few different folks have approached us with ideas for safe, live performances and we're exploring these options. We look forward to coming together with you, our storytelling community... possibly later this Winter or in the Spring. We're hoping for the best. 
Staying In Touch
